4 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
6 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
8 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
9 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
14 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
15 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
16 Photoshop, old finder.
17 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
22 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
23 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
24 based on the fact that they have no shell.
25 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
26 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
27 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
28 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
30 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
32 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
34 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
35 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
36 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
37 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
38 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
43 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
44 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
45 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
46 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
47 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
48 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
49 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
50 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
51 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
52 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
53 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
54 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
55 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
56 order to avoid database corruption!
57 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
58 not all file types were properly recognized.
59 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
60 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
61 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
62 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
63 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
64 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
69 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
70 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
71 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
73 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
74 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
75 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
76 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
78 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
79 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
80 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
81 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
86 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
87 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
88 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
89 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
94 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
95 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
96 generated during package build.
97 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
98 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
99 and prior bounds checking.
101 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
103 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
105 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
107 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
110 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
112 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
115 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
117 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
119 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
121 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
124 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
126 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
128 Moved all the config files to .../config.
130 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
132 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
135 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
138 All sorts of other stuff.
140 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
142 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
143 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
146 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
148 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
149 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
150 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
152 Added Kerberos support to papd.
154 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
157 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
158 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
159 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
160 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
163 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
164 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
165 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
166 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
167 the owner doesn't have write permission.
169 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
170 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
173 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
176 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
177 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
178 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
180 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
181 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
183 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
184 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
185 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
186 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
187 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
190 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
192 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
193 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
194 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
196 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
197 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
200 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
201 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
202 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
204 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
205 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
208 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
209 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
210 on the Mac gray-ed out.
212 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
213 which improves permission inheritance.
215 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
216 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
217 users aren't interested in.
219 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
220 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
222 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
225 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
226 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
227 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
228 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
230 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
231 ever worked right on little endian machines!
233 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
234 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
236 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
237 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
240 Changes from the 1.3 release:
242 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
243 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
244 (corrupted) database.
246 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
247 when copying to afpd.
249 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
250 contain the written icon.
252 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
253 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
254 machine running afpd.
256 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
257 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
259 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
260 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
261 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
262 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
264 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
266 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
268 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
269 from previous version will not work!
271 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
272 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
273 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
274 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
276 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
279 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
281 Changes from the 1.2 release:
283 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
284 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
285 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
287 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
288 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
289 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
290 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
292 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
294 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
296 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
297 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
298 environment variable.
300 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
302 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
303 silently denying service.
305 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
306 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
308 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
309 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
311 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
314 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
315 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
316 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
318 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
319 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
320 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
321 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
322 card for HP LJIIISIs.
324 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
327 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
328 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
330 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
332 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
333 hasn't recieved anything yet.
335 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
336 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
337 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
339 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
342 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
344 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
346 The README files for various machine have been updated
